President Bola Tinubu stated this on Saturday in Katsina State at the 9th Convocation ceremony of the Federal University, Dutsinma (FUDMA).

Tinubu, however, said security was not the responsibility of the government alone as citizens have a role to play by providing information that would aid the operation of security operatives.

Represented by Vice Chancellor, Federal University, Dutste, Jigawa state, Prof Abdulkarim Mohammed; the president called on youths to leverage the Nigerian Loan Scheme in which over N70 billion has been disbursed across the country.

He reminded Nigerians that governance is not about the presidency or those in leadership but about Nigeria and Nigerians, and how to make the country better.

The president also called on convocating students to be good ambassadors of the institution and the country wherever they fund themselves.
